Dune Buggy Happenings

blue buggy ad 1 [2)A few months ago I acquired this Safari Trail dune buggy, it had a light engine fire that roasted the harness, hoses but did not touch the body or custom paint work. One thing lead to another and another full tear down. I pulled the 1500 single port to use in the original high end body tagged Meyers Manx resto I'm doing this winter....
